The lies of California

Steven and I are back from Cali, and lest any of you be jealous of our week in the sun, at the beach, I'm here to tell you... It's all lies. No one goes to the beach. The water was to cold for swimming, from San Diego to San Francisco. And it's not hot, at least not at the coast. I think the highest temperature we saw hovered around 75. All the Californians know this, too. The beaches are deserted. It looks like the Jersey Shore in October -- only the die-hards, the stragglers, and the people just out for a little quiet are there.

More space for the likes of us, so that's fine with me. But I'm just here to tell you, don't believe the hype. It doesn't go down like you see on TV. Even in Orange County.
